DIY Garmin GPS Internal Battery Replacement
Thought I'd post this for those who own the older Garmin 296's,396's etc
and have been having trouble with the units taking a long time to aquire satellites, clock displays wrong time and date on boot up. Mine was taking 30 minutes or so after a couple weeks being turned off. Trouble is the "internal battery". Figure on start up the gps uses the wrong date and time to locate the satellites. Now it boots in 15 seconds after internal battery replacement that cost me about $5.00 bucks and 30 minutes labor. Garmin says it can be done at a cost of $250.00 if you send the unit in but do it yourself. I thought I'd pass this on to my fellow pilots......if your interested here's the link.. http://home.newwavecomm.net/bobbyhes...nalbattery.htm http://www.gpsinformation.org/forum/...pic.php?t=4701 Terry N6401F |
